Leisl Baker

Leisl Baker Biography

 

A spontaneous, energetic and intuitive painter, Leisl is interested in, and inspired by the personality, character, virtues and story of people and places as much as their beauty. Her work is a compulsion to capture and magnify what she sees as the essence of a subject. Leisl depicts the Australian landscape with a classic plein air approach with a contemporary twist. A refined, subtle colour palette is seen in all of her paintings. Beautiful lush greens, bright skies and painterly clouds come to the fore. ACHIEVEMENTS & AWARDS October 2020: Finalist – Paddington Art PrizeOctober 2019: Finalist – Queensland Regional Art AwardsJune 2019: Finalist – Lethbridge 20000 (Group 1)August 2018: Rugby Farms Acquisitive Award, Facets of Fairholme Art ExhibitionJune 2018: Finalist – Hadleys Art PrizeFebruary 2018: Finalist – Morris Art PrizeSeptember 2017: Finalist – Clayton Utz Art AwardSeptember 2017: Finalist – Tattersalls Club Landscape Art PrizeAugust 2017: Finalist – Chippendale World Art ResidencyMay 2017: Finalist – Lethbridge 10 1000 (Section 2 – online)March 2017: Finalist – Moreton Bay Art Award 2017October 2016: Finalist – Rio Tinto Martin Hansen Memorial Art AwardsSeptember 2016: Finalist – Paddington Art PrizeJune 2016: Finalist – Waverley Art PrizeMay 2016: Finalist – Pro Hart Outback Art PrizeMay 2016: Finalist – Lethbridge 10 000May 2016: Finalist – Toowoomba Biennial Emerging Artist AwardApril 2016: Champion Picture – RAS Toowoomba Show 2016April 2016 – Finalist: Moreton Bay Art Award 2016December 2015 – Finalist: Contemporary Art AwardsOctober 2015 – Finalist: Rio Tinto Martin Hanson Memorial Art Awards1989 – Finalist – Suncorp Art Awards1989 – Open Champion Picture – Toowoomba Royal Show1988 – Junior Champion Picture – Toowoomba Royal Show
